Hypoxia induced amoeboid microglial cell activation in postnatal rat brain is mediated by ATP receptor P2X4
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Activation of amoeboid microglial cells (AMC) and its related inflammatory response have been linked to the periventricular white matter damage after hypoxia in neonatal brain. Hypoxia increases free ATP in the brain and then induces...
